Re: Rod Stewart realizes dream recording with Smokey
Saw Smokey on BBC Electric Proms and his take on his own classic was immaculate. Rod's version sounds equally as well and he should be congratulated.
I know Rod recorded 29 tracks before settling on the final 13 but I think J Records should let us fans have a say in which RnB gems Rod should cover if there is to be Volume 2, 3 or 4!
My submission would be the very wonderful "Another Saturday Night" by the great Sam Cooke. It's a Sam cover I've been longing for Rod to sing all his career. How about it Rod?
